Catholic Masses run about an hour and I’m in no hurry to leave. Plus we can get some Knights of Columbus business discussed because more members go to Mass than go to meetings.
That’s about the right time. Mass is Mass. It’s not a circus or a picnic which is what it has turned into since Vat11. Attention spans my foot. We as children sat through Masses and special Masses and listened to and responded over and over again to the Priest during a Litany. It’s self discipline. However, someone giving a speech for over an hour or so is absolutely ridiculous and seems to me to be all about the one giving the speech. Three hours in the church??? We used to go to Mass then home to be with our families and enjoy a nice Sunday dinner prepared by our mother. Mass was Mass and the rest of the day was the rest of the day.
OH! Nothing thrills me more than when the Knights of Columbus process in with their uniforms and sabres.
